About Carmen by Georges Bizet

Carmen is one fiery gypsy woman…a femme fatale who lives life on her own provocative terms. The next notch on her belt is the naïve soldier Don Jose who is bewitched by her passion and gives up everything to be with her, including his sweetheart Micaela. In her true heartless fashion, Carmen becomes bored and callously drops her young lover when her path collides with the macho bullfighting Escamillo. Obsessed and alone, will Don Jose’s jealousy ignites an emotional bonfire that destroys them all.Carmen is an archetype of literature and art set to passionate music that will burn up the stage with its unbridled drama and incredible music, including the “Toreador Song” and the seductive “Habanera.” Sung in French with projected English translations. The approximate run time is three hours and fifteen minutes, including one intermission.

-20% off all tickets to the Friday evening performances of Mozart’s classic comic opera, The Marriage of Figaro with a libretto based on the Pierre Beaumarchais comedy La folle journée, ou le Mariage de Figaro (sung in Italian).
